Winterizing Your Hair, by Chaunteese

Posted on January 08, 2010

Since having my new De Novo Hair full lace wig I have acquired a number of suggestions that will help clients keep their wig healthy and tangle free. Anyone who has spent even one single day in Chicago during the winter can contest to the brutality that Mother Nature unleashes on the body, skin and hair. That’s why here in Chi, we have to bundle up! However, the materials that our hats and coats are made from oftentimes are not friendly to our hair. In fact, clients oftentimes, come in to the salon with breakage and evidence of unhealthy hair care. What causes this breakage is friction, which is caused by movement between the materials of our garments which comes in contact with our hair. This friction can also cause tangling with your hair addition, especially at the nape. However, there are ways to help reduce that friction: 1) Try to wear garments made from the material Satin or Silk. So, before you put on your winter hat and coat, you should put on a silk or satin bonnet or scarf to protect your hair. This will provide adequate protection, in most instances, against the drying effects of Mother Nature’s brutal winds and cold temperatures. In addition, this will reduce tangling as well as breakage. Stay warm and don’t worry so much about your hair!
